But by the shore and DER the fair. green hill

of little ones ut play.
And sitting lonely thus watch the glow
The grand sun-setting- we loved IL so,
When, in its light, we met so long ago
We met and kissed one day.

My heart beats fast but still no fond voice
calls
Only rustic in the dim, wide halls
Where ghostiy curtains sway.
II FROM their depths you should come forth to-
And, touching mouth and eyes with kisses
light,
Could heal my wounds and give me life and
sight,
What would dare to say
Could dare tell thee Of the weary years.
Bereft of JOY, the eyes grown dim with tears,
fcalS.
This only could ] say,
Only the four fond words. Il love thee still
With all a wornan's dover of strength and
while lite shall last, wbiIe pulses throb and
love thee, asti'at day.
All me! no whisper wakes, no kisses fall,
Only the shadows FIJI the darkcning hall;
Thou art at rest. and ], in LIES sad thrall,
Must work, and weep, and pray.
When all the long, sad years have past me
Shall silver locks shine once again as gold,
Shall be young who have grown tired and
old.
When we shall meet-one day.

interviewing Dickens.

In musty little dressing room Just
off the stage of st. James Hall, in Buff
falo, Charles Dickens gave an ambitious
young newspaper reporter his first les
son in interviewing. That was more
than twenty years ago and during Mr..
| Dickens's last visit to this country.
The great novelist gave two public
| readings in Buffalo, and on the day af-
ter his reading in that city he went to
the Niagara Falls with party of friends.
| It was to obtain his impressions of the
Falls that the ambitious young reporter
sought Mr.. Dickens few minutes be-
fore the rising of the curtain on his sec
ond nights entertainment. As luck
would have it the distinguished author
was alone in the dressing room. He
was sitting at rude pine table reading
a newspaper by the light of splutter-
ing candle.

somewhat grufily, as soon as he became
aware of the reporters presence.

press said the intruder with forced
calmness.

cd Mr.. Dickens in a tone so freezing

saIliug fish in invisible depths. No
man whose opinions are worth publish

weak or frivolous questions. You must
have an intelligent plan of campaign

you must know just what you want to
